Tips on Making Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
One of the perks of making your own pumpkin pie shake is you can customize and add your own healthy twist to your drink. Read these helpful tips on how to make a perfect pumpkin pie milkshake at home:
- Use almond milk, soy milk, fresh or canned coconut milk, or other non-dairy milk of choice if you want a healthier alternative to evaporated milk. In the same way, you can switch stevia, Medjool dates, and maple syrup for sugar.
- If you can’t find canned pumpkin puree, you can make your own at home. Just peel, deseed, and cut a pumpkin into cubes. Then steam them for 15 minutes or until tender, and mash while they’re warm. The homemade puree will work just fine.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and make it a pumpkin protein shake for your pre-exercise drink.
- Make it ahead for breakfast by storing it in a freezer-safe cup with an air-tight lid to keep it from oxidizing.
- Serve it as a pumpkin spice smoothie bowl. Top it with some sliced almonds, pecans, flax seeds, chia seeds, bananas, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Almond butter and peanut butter have flavors that also go well with pumpkin.
